If you want to divorce, you don’t need his permission. I’m only saying that if you really want to go down that road; I think it would likely be better for you and your child, but I do get it’s easier said than done in many cases. Ideally you’d try and support each other with problems, not say one’s cancels the other’s out like he is. Does he say this to try and absolve himself of his responsibilities as a husband?
